The two brothers Theo and Jackel Cheung were working together in 2012 to revitalize an 85-room serviced apartment in Shanghai. \u201cThe value of the serviced apartment then doubled and this project made us realize that we complement each other really well and we are very good at revitalizing old underperforming properties,\u201d say the pair<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAfter exiting the senior management roles of a HK public listed company in 2014, we started to look for new ventures and the co-working movement happening in Asia and Australia caught our attention. This discovery stimulated us to think of utilising our expertise in property development, asset management and F&B to come up with a unique co-working space that offers extra values to the new working generation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Many industry players focus their resources on supporting startups through a variety of means such as incubation and accelerator programs. \u201cWhile we reckon that startups are important stakeholders of the industry, what we target is not purely startups but a complete change in the working lifestyle. We believe in the change in working method and the flexibility that this change requires, and we are utilising our skills to provide fun spaces that challenge the way we used to work. The values we offer to this wider customer base are a lifestyle co-working community with extraordinarily smart and comfortable work environment that facilitates collaboration, creativity and productivity. Hence, we decided to stay our course in developing our own uniqueness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cGiven our versatile experience in property development, asset management as well as F&B, we understand the needs, the strengths and the weaknesses of both the customer side and the operator side. We have empathy for both sides and are able to create the optimal co-working environment that can best fit the needs of the stakeholders,\u201d they say.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe put fun into work. We produce spaces that enhance communication and hence community to form. We look for people who are highly motivated and willing to share to our community to join us and we have the skills to revitalize underperforming spaces into stylish functional spaces at affordable costs.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cplayground.work is unique in the sense that we are providing a \u2018lifestyle co-working community\u2019 that brings a \u2018happy working\u2019 culture to our members. For example, our co-working space in Sheung Wan is composed of different activity based zones to cater for different purposes: dedicated private offices, hot desks, meeting rooms, casual meeting areas, phone booths and various meeting\/ office equipment for work, plus a cafe with onsite barista, a bouldering wall, table soccer, game arcade and even a shower for pleasure and leisure.
